Welcome to the Departure Lounge: Adventures in Mothering Mother by Meg Federico The adventure begins when Meg’s mother, Addie, vacationing in Florida, takes a spill. At the hospital, Addie bolts upright on her gurney and yells “I demand an autopsy!” before passing out cold. “One minute, she is unconscious, the next, she’s nuts,” observes Meg in this hilarious and poignant memoir of taking care of 80-year-old Addie and her relatively new husband, Walter, in their not-so-golden years.
